Are Your Intuitive Gifts Blocked?


The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #15


Hi Reader,

Have you ever experienced intuitive moments when you just knew something without knowing how?

That intuitive power lives within your sixth chakra, known as the third eye or Ajna.


It's located in the middle of your forehead. The color associated with the third eye chakra is indigo. This chakra houses the energy for ideas, insight, wisdom, and intuition. It’s where you sense psychic activity.

This chakra helps you turn dreams and ideas into a tangible reality by balancing intuition with practical wisdom and clear action.

As we age, this is an area that often has the volume turned up. As we lean into the experiences of our lives and are centered in who we are as women, this energy bubbles to the surface.

Feelings and Emotions

The third eye chakra is where insight and intuition live. It’s about being open to inner wisdom and having the confidence to rely on your own ideas, insights, and intuition without being threatened by other people’s ideas, insights, or intuition.


The sixth chakra relates to seeing both physically and psychically. This is where you get the ‘Big Picture’ view and tap into the collective consciousness.

Our psychic potential is held here. We all have intuitive abilities. Your third eye chakra helps you access and enhance these natural skills, like having clear gut feelings or vivid dreams that provide meaningful guidance.

Connecting deeply with this chakra empowers you to trust yourself more fully, opening doors to clarity and a deeper sense of purpose.

A well-balanced third eye chakra shows up as the ability to release negative thoughts, an open mind, and a sense of knowing, as well as the ability to discern and trust your inner wisdom or intuition.

Blocks in the Third eye Chakra can result in,

Persistent Thoughts of:

· “They” know best

· Wanting what everyone else has

· There is only one way to do things

· What do I know anyway

· How do I know if it’s real or if I’m imagining it

Patterns of Behavior:

· Consistently second-guessing yourself

· Difficulty separating reality from fantasy

· Tunnel vision

· Unable to accept criticism

· Clinging to repetitive patterns or rituals

In many cases, an underactive third eye chakra can show up as persistent feelings of fear, worry, or envy. It also manifests as self-doubt, rigid thinking, superstitious behavior, and/or relying on others to think for you.

The overactive third eye chakra can show up as manipulative behaviors, hypersensitivity, impatience, hypercritical behavior and /or belittling others.

Physical

The third eye chakra balances the brain, nervous system, eyes, nose, and ears. Some of the physical symptoms associated with the third eye chakra are:

· Poor sight

· Learning difficulties

· Insomnia

· Coordination problems

· Hearing problems

· Neurological disorders

· Headaches

· Sinus problems

· Nightmares

Activities to Activate the Third eye Chakra:

· Meditation

· Practice using your intuition

· Star gazing

· Take a psychic development class

· Read psychic phenomena books, or listen to the Telepathy Tapes Podcast

Realigning and Cleansing

If you are experiencing difficulty in any of these areas, focusing on the third eye chakra with your breath and some extra cleansing may be of value(in conjunction with your current plan), getting the energy moving.

When you breathe into the third eye chakra, visualize indigo light infusing the chakra and gently move it, either with your hand or by visualizing it, counterclockwise, then clockwise. Adding the following affirmation:

I release all of my fears, worries, and self-doubt around my ability to tap into my inner guidance accurately.

I allow the flow of inner guidance to bubble to the surface of my consciousness.

I trust that my inner guidance is in perfect alignment with my life purpose and highest good.

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

· Am I fearful of following my ‘gut’?

· Do I feel like I rarely have original thoughts?

· Am I unable to easily release anxiety and fearful thoughts?

· Do I live primarily in my imagination with little reality?

If you answered yes to any of the questions, you may have a block in the third eye chakra. You can cleanse and realign the energy in your third eye chakra by doing the cleansing above or any activity that feels right to you.


Your intuitive abilities strengthen with practice. Tune in to the energy of this chakra to help support your practice.



Be Inspired,

Cathy

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #14 Hi Reader, I recently returned from a quick getaway to the Cayman Islands (my favorite place to unwind) to do some planning and writing, only to feel like a hamster on a wheel. Lately, I’ve been racing the clock—and losing. My to-do list seems to multiply overnight, and focus? That’s been off wandering somewhere. I’m finding myself feeling time-starved. There are more "to-dos" than hours in the day. Things are just taking longer to get done. But the...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #12 Hi Reader, The month has been a whirlwind of activity, yet I don't feel like I've gotten much done. A growing to-do list and seemingly fewer hours to do it in had me a little spinny. I could blame it on the recent eclipse, but there's more to it than that. A few weeks ago, I shared thoughts on the energy of the collective consciousness (you can catch up here). If you’re not familiar with the term, think of it as the shared beliefs, emotions, energy, and...

Volume XX Issue# 8 Hi Reader, The time change last week really knocked my sleep cycle off. How about you? I have been in the energy healing world for over four decades; a lot has changed(and a fair bit has not). I practice a distance healing called WebWork and have done a number of informal research studies with hundreds of participants, enough to know it's effective. Yet, some still consider it woo-woo. I would venture that, in time, energy healing will become part of our health and...
